Jordan Lake: I watched this female Osprey Fledgling catch a fish this morning. Then she promptly did what she needed to do next: the youngster shook off all the excess water from her dive and lightened the weight she had to carry in her flight to a nearby tree. The shake is done exactly the way a dog does one … starts at the beak and twists through to the tail.
Jordan Lake! Peregrine Falcon!! This speedy bird came off of the Ebenezer Beach area and it was heading south down the lake. I saw it and caught seven rapid fire shots of it. And the bird was gone. It was not even doing its famed 200 mph hunting speed. The falcon was only cruising as it went past. I don’t usually see peregrine falcons at the lake until December. So wondering why this one showed up this early. Sure hope you enjoy the speedster!
Jordan Lake. Doc Ellen‘s Natural Minute Sunday, September 19, 2021. I do believe I got mesmerized by the glint and glitter of the surface of the lake. I hope you enjoy the shimmer. Take care, be safe. Do stay oh so well!
Jordan Lake. The moon, edging towards fullness on Monday, was caught in layered clouds. The great egret winged towards a safe roost in the trees for the night. May your sleep also find soft lit dreams in which to safely dwell for the night. Peace and Grace, Doc Ellen
Jordan Lake. Been a while since I have posted a Natural Minute. World has been going by too fast and too noisy. However, this morning I managed to find 60 seconds of serenity for all of us. Take care, be safe. Stay oh so well.
Jordan Lake. These two young bald eagles came boiling off the shoreline way to my left. You are seeing the third of the rollovers that occurred in front of me as the two bald eagles passed by. That is a four year old bald eagle that’s being really aggressive and the one that’s upside down is a three year old bald eagle. They were still tumbling and jostling for supremacy when they went screaming around the corner and out of sight.
